said by jgkolt:this will drive aftermarket sales. Redbox buying from retail and everyone else renting it from redbox. It is amazing to see the entrenchment to an older business model by warner brothers. Even anti competitive if they are doing this because they have ultraviolet.
I hated when redbox was buying retail discs[specially from walmart] because the better movies were "sanitized"
the redboxes INSIDE walmarts are all sanitized because that was a condition for placing in walmarts.
